Holds

 

Different offices on campus may put a hold on your account because you have not provided them with something (forms, official transcripts, money) or because they need to speak with you prior to your enrollment. Most holds prevent further course enrollment. Holds also prevent the ability to drop classes in MyCentral.

If you have a hold and wish to drop a class, you will need to contact your success advisor or the Registrar's Office for assistance.

Be sure to contact them before the drop deadline.

Some holds also block the release of grades, transcripts, and/or diplomas.  It is important to know what the hold is for and which office has placed it on your account.

 

Common Holds Include:

• Academic Advisement - Some students are required to visit their success advisor prior to enrollment. Find the contact information for your success advisor here.
• Accounts Receivable - If you owe the University money for books, tuition, fees, library fines, parking tickets, etc. Contact Student Financial Services at 660-543-8266 or in WDE 1100.
• Address - This hold is placed if the university does not have an active, accurate mailing address for a student or if mail is returned to the university as undeliverable. Domestic students can update their address from the MyCentral.  International students must update their address using the form found on this page. 
• Financial Agreement - All students must read and agree to the university's Financial Agreement Statement. This hold is placed by the Student Financial Services Office (660-543-8266, WDE 1100). Students will be prompted to read and agree to this statement once a semester when logging into MyCentral. Once you have read and agreed to the statement the hold will be automatically removed.
• Health Center - If you are a student and have not turned in your immunization records go to this page and follow the directions. 
• Inactive Student - This hold is applied to:
  • all students who have graduated from UCM,
  • any undergraduate student who has been away from UCM for one or more semesters (not including summers), and
  • any graduate student who has been away from UCM for more than one year.

  This hold has no negative impact on former students. This hold does NOT prevent the release of transcripts or diplomas/certificates.  This hold only impacts future enrollment at UCM until a new application is received by UCM.

  Students who wish to take additional classes at UCM need to reapply to UCM.  The admitting office (Undergraduate Admissions, Graduate/International Admissions, or Online and Learning Engagement) will remove the hold upon admission. 

  • Students seeking undergraduate admissions can contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at 660-543-4290 or admit@ucmo.edu. 
  • International Students seeking admission can contact the International Student Services Office at 660-543-4621 or isss@ucmo.edu. 
  • Domestic students seeking graduate admissions can contact the Graduate Studies Office at 660-543-4729 or gradstudies@ucmo.edu. 
  • Students who are non-degree seeking (dual credit, etc.) may contact the office of Online and Learning Engagement at 660-543-4894 or extstudies@ucmo.edu. 
• New Student - This hold is placed on all new students when they are admitted to UCM.  The admitting office (Undergraduate Admissions or Graduate/International Admissions) will remove the hold after the student has attended a campus orientation. 
  • New domestic freshman and transfer students can contact the Undergraduate Admissions Office at 660-543-4290 or admit@ucmo.edu for information about orientation or the how to get the hold lifted. 
  • Students seeking graduate admissions or any international students can contact the Graduate and International Student Services Office at 660-543-4621 or giss@ucmo.edu for information about orientation or the how to get the hold lifted.
